BEIJING, April 2 (Xinhua) — The recently launched Qingzhou cargo test spacecraft will be followed by a final version that will dock with the Chinese space station and deliver cargo, according to the Innovation Academy of Microsatellite Systems (IAMCAS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The test vehicle was launched by a Lijian-2 Y1 carrier rocket on Monday from the Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone in northwest China and was successfully placed into the designated orbit.

The IAMCAS-developed test vehicle weighs 4.2 tons, is compatible with various launch vehicle types, and is easily adaptable for launch. During the test flight, Qingzhou will conduct tests, including technological reserve testing, in-orbit verification, and scientific research, across 27 projects with a total payload of 1.02 tons. These tests will be conducted at altitudes ranging from 200 to 600 km.

The test spacecraft consists of a main pressurized compartment and an unpressurized tail section. The main compartment contains 40 cargo compartments with a total volume of 27 cubic meters, which can carry astronaut essentials, equipment for scientific experiments, and research payloads.

A unique feature of the Qingzhou is its ability to accommodate a 300-liter refrigerator, consisting of five 60-liter refrigeration chambers, which will provide storage conditions for astronauts' daily necessities, as well as samples for biological experiments that require low-temperature storage.

The unpressurized tail section is designed to accommodate and transport other cargo, as well as additional payload and equipment necessary for conducting experiments in space conditions, which in turn allows for the maximum use of the Qingzhou's cargo capacity. -0-

Shandong-based Taiwo Agricultural Equipment is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the production and sale of agricultural machinery, particularly tractors. Since its founding in 2021, the company has rapidly gained international market share thanks to its high-quality products and the production of customized parts.

Currently, the company's export share accounts for more than 80% of total sales, with products supplied to more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, including Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, and Chile.

Shandong is one of China's largest agricultural provinces, also boasting the most powerful production facilities and the most comprehensive range of agricultural machinery. It boasts significant advantages in the form of industrial clusters, and its production volume accounts for approximately a quarter of the national total.

In recent years, agricultural machinery exports from China have grown rapidly, with increasing volumes of this equipment being exported. According to data, in 2025, agricultural machinery exports from China will reach 67.419 billion yuan, a 32.3% increase from the previous year.

Why is Chinese agricultural machinery so popular? According to industry insiders, as global agricultural modernization accelerates, demand for agricultural machinery in developing countries is steadily growing, with high-efficiency, intelligent, and adaptable models in particular demand. More importantly, the Chinese agricultural machinery industry has made significant strides in technological innovation, resulting in continuous improvements in product functionality and performance.

China places great emphasis on strengthening innovation in agricultural technology and equipment, as well as developing new productive forces in agriculture. The 15th Five-Year Plan outlines the need to implement measures to ensure high-quality agricultural machinery and promote efficiency gains through the comprehensive use of fertile land, high-quality seeds, modern equipment, and advanced farming methods.

Along with the continuous improvement of the technological advancement of Chinese agricultural machinery, the range of products is also constantly expanding, demonstrating high adaptability and diversity, which can meet the needs of different regions and various applications.

In recent years, Chinese agricultural machinery has increasingly shifted from being a "product export" to a "full-service international marketplace." According to Zhang Qi, sales manager at Shandong Shuangli Modern Agricultural Equipment Co., Ltd., the company's tractors have become popular in regions such as Africa and South America. "We've established a network of sales and service outlets in many countries and provide training to local technicians to ensure efficient use and convenient on-site repairs. At the same time, we're constantly improving our products to address local specifics, ensuring 'local adaptation,'" Zhang Qi said.

Xeme Airlines has signed a major contract with a Kazakhstani farm for crop protection services in 2 million mu of cotton fields, worth approximately 6 million yuan. The contract covers not only the sale of agricultural drones but also comprehensive solutions, including hardware and software, pilot training, and personnel management.

Industry experts believe that agricultural machinery exports from China are demonstrating new trends: steady growth in volumes, ongoing optimization of the structure, and diversification of sales markets. In the future, as globalization deepens, the Chinese agricultural machinery market, constantly innovating and improving, will expand into new areas thanks to a more developed spare parts supply network, a more professional training system, and improved service.

In the mountains of the Guanshan State Forestry in Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province, you can often see a short, thin woman striding briskly through the dense forest. She is 62-year-old forester Wu Zhonghua.

Wu Zhonghua oversees over 3,600 mu (15 mu = 1 hectare) of forestland within the Guanshan National Nature Reserve. This area is rich in pristine forests and rare species of wildlife and plants. In addition to her usual duties, such as promoting forest conservation laws, identifying fire risks, preventing illegal logging, and monitoring forest pests, she is also tasked with combating poaching and the illegal collection of wild plants and animals.

Wu Zhonghua was born in 1964 in a forestry barracks. Her father worked there. In 1994, she officially became a forester at the Guanshan Forestry. In 2014, Wu Zhonghua retired, then returned to her previous job and continues to protect the forest to this day. "I've never left this forest my entire life. Even when I was pregnant, I walked the mountains every day. When my children grew up, I took them on patrol with me," she says. For 32 years, she has explored every corner of the forestry, covering over 8,000 kilometers annually on patrol.

When Wu Zhonghua first started working as a forester, she was scared, but she never considered giving up. The forest is fraught with many dangers: deep in the mountains and forests, wild boars, venomous snakes, and wild bees are often encountered, and poachers are also a constant threat.

Today, 62-year-old Wu Zhonghua remains on the front lines of forest protection. When she's not patrolling, she raises chickens, grows vegetables on the forestry farm's property, and practices tai chi with her colleagues in her spare time. Her life in this remote mountainous region is vibrant.
